Cisco Nexus 9000, 7000, 5000, 2000
Line Cards in Cisco Nexus 7000
• There are two types of Line Cards or aka I/O modules for data plane forwarding – M series and F
series.
• M Series Cards were originally introduced for Layer 2+ Layer 3 functions while F Series were
initially L2 only.
• M Series Cards are feature-rich, L2/L3/L4 capable, have big buffers and large forwarding tables.
• F Series cards provide high performance, high throughput , low latency as compared to M series
Cards.
• Latest Cards have reduced the gap of features between M and F series Line cards. e.g. F3 card is
equally capable of providing all features of M1,M2,F1,F2E.
M Series Cards in Cisco Nexus 7000
M Series have further 3 types – M1,M2,M3
• M1 comes with below models with Port Density of 1G & 10G
N7K-M148GS-11 , N7K-M148GS-11L , N7K-M148GT-11
N7K-M148GT-11L, N7K-M108X2-12L ,N7K-M132XP-12
N7K-M132XP-12L
• M1 Cards have been marked as End of Life by Cisco

XL and non-XL Cards
Line cards with XL option enables the module to work at full capability i.e.
large Mac address table, IPv4 routes, IPv6 routes, Netflow entries, ACL entries
SCALABLE_SERVICES_PKG license is required per chassis to enable XL card to
work at it’s full potential else It will keep on working like non-XL card.
XL card will have the keyword “L” at the end of line card name.
F1 Series Card
Cisco introduced these cards for
customers who did not want rich-feature
but only high performance, low latency.
F1 was pure Layer 2 Card. For Layer3
capability, VDC must have M Series cards.
Later on, Layer 3 routing was available in
F2,F2E,F3,F4 so there was no dependency
on M card for proxy routing.

know about the below component to
• 1. Chassis Hardware
• 2. Line Card
• 3. Supervisor Modue
• 4. Fabric Module
• 5. NX-OS
• 6. Feature & License
